Grand Theft Auto: From the Beginning - Part 1/2

With the recent announcement and trailer of Grand Theft Auto V, we thought that it would be a good time to reflect on the series' highs and lows. From it's humble beginnings as an average PS1 title, to it's promising future with more than 124 million copies sold worldwide since the series launched.

In part 1 of From the Beginning we'll be talking about every game from Grand Theft Auto 1 to Grand Theft Auto Advance! So read on to prepare for GTA V and Part 2 of this feature!

The Golden Joystick Awards 2011: The Winners


The votes have been counted for the Golden Joystick Awards 2011, and here are the games that came out on top:

Opinion: It's Time for FPS Games to Go!

The FPS game is one that dominates our current gaming marketplace. I'm not saying that there aren't other successful genre's in gaming - but whenever a new Call of Duty comes out, it's an immediate No. 1. Am I the only one getting tired of this?

Is the Wii Already Dead?

There was a time when the Wii was king of the console world, now though, it's struggling. And while it has got a bit of a Christmas ahead of it with the likes of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Kirby's Return to Dreamland, we have to ask - Is the Wii already dead?

13 Games that won't sell this Christmas

It's getting to Christmas time now, and there are a lot of great games coming out! Too many in fact. And with many people not being able to spend that much on games, there are a few that are destined to fail. These are the 13 that I believe will miss out on those all important sales. These aren't bad games, but just games that I don't think are mainstream enough to sell well - but I've been wrong before...

Has Kinect Failed Gamers?

In less than two weeks Kinect will have reached it's 1st birthday. Then why is it that there's practically nothing to show for it, except for bucketloads of sales and a load of disappointed gamers that is.


Child of Eden X360 Review

Child of Eden at the very least is something to look at. A spiritual successor to Rez, it's graphics consist of brightly coloured enemies, explosions and environments - some can really take your breath away.

Portal 2 Review


The original Portal was an awesome albeit very short XBLA/PC/The Orange Box title. It saw you completing many puzzles in an abandoned facility (Aperture Laboratories) with no one but AI GLaDos helping you through. After the promises of cake went unfulfilled and instead you nearly get incinerated - it doesn't take much to realise that GLaDos is evil so you go into her laire and destroy her.
